Q

Repeals part of Article 2, Section 1, of the constitution. Electoral Collage must cast separate ballots for president and vice president. in 1800, there was difficulty when Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr received the same amount of votes in the Electoral Collage , even though the electors meant Burr’s votes to be for the position of vice president. The election had to go to the house of representatives, where Jefferson won, thanks to the support of Alexander Hamilton. This helps explain why Hamilton and Burr late dueled, and Hamilton was killed.
